The adage "health is wealth" has been taught over and over again to show the importance of self-care. Of course, diseases have no regard to your age, gender, income, or anyone else. It can strike anyone at any time. It is also true that when your health is deteriorating, no money, no wealth, no friends can bring you happiness. What is strange about our world is that the poor suffer from malnutrition while the rich experience conditions that exceed their resources.
The years 2020 and 2021 have made a very important point in our lives: Life is the most valuable asset you can have. So it makes sense to try and protect it as much as possible. Everyone knows about the importance of nutrition, exercise, and lifestyle, changes in disease prevention and control. As my doctor told me earlier today when I make a complaint about how I feel after waking up this morning, taking tablet pills is not a good idea to prevent infections. However, there are a few hidden things that ensure not only good health but also reduce the risk of disease, my doctor said. I took a keen interest in all he said and request him to explain some of the keywords of his speech properly to me for this article's sake.
1. Regular checkups.
This is a very important and useful tool, the most comprehensible, of living a healthy life. You may be thinking, "I'm fine, I don't have any diseases or symptoms of any disease. Now, why should I try harder to see the side effects?" The answer lies below.
Even routine tests such as blood count, hemoglobin, kidney function, liver function, and lipid profiles can help detect serious conditions before symptoms appear. High cholesterol may not cause significant discomfort to anyone, but it can cause a sudden blockage of the boat leading to heart disease! Liver function tests can detect fatty liver long before it progresses to chronic liver damage which is incurable. Known diabetes can start with kidney function.
Early diagnosis is important in cases of diseases such as cancer, which is why those with a family history of cancer, should be screened regularly.
Not only cancer but routine checkups are also needed to maintain eye and dental health as well. When problems are identified early, they are easier to fix.
2. Health insurance.
Many of us are unfortunate enough to know people who cannot afford treatment. Sadly, in a large part of society, medical care is still very expensive, especially when there are medical conditions such as accidents, stroke, heart disease, organ failure, and so on. It is also true that quality care requires resources, such as good medicine, equipment, testing, and treatment facilities, which are very expensive to obtain.
For this reason, it is wise to create awareness about health insurance. Many TV commercials these days lead to this, but health insurance should be a household item. If this is available in your country or region to use, I advise you to go for it. It will greatly benefit you and your family members. Life is unpredictable but the best we can do to protect ourselves and our loved ones is to prepare well for any possible negative consequences. We eat well, pray for the health, safety, and longevity of friends and family, but it is also wise to be prepared for the negative consequences.
3. Mental health.
It has long been known that physical health affects your mental well-being. The opposite is true. Mental illnesses often have the most common physical and emotional symptoms.
Depression, for example, is a silent epidemic that affects a large percentage of the population. Many people do not seek help and often have physical symptoms such as overeating/loss of appetite, chronic pain, insomnia, and so on. Severe and severe stress can increase panic attacks, which can have the same characteristics as heart failure.
Therefore, mental health is very important to keep the body healthy. Regular exercise is invaluable, very important in this regard. It not only eliminates physical ailments but also increases thinking and relieves headaches.
It is also important to consider the role of brain food in this. No, I'm not talking about the food you eat with your mouth. Here, brain food refers to the food you eat in the form of information. Negative details will damage your mind, as seen in the current situation in which death and grief surround you. Although it is not possible to defend yourself against the harsh realities of this world, it is very helpful to remember that there are still good things to look for and live by. The joy of sharing a hot meal with family, a long conversation with an old friend, a night of playing with a pet: all of these are little things that enhance our 'fun chemicals'.
Bottom line
Having a medical practitioner you can call upon in time of unusual feelings to the body avails you first-hand health information before taking any action of your own which might be counterproductive in the long run. It is advisable not to engage in self-prescription for drugs in time of illness, doing so could cause more harm than good.
The practice of running to a medicine store to get quick and cheap medical care should not be patronized. Even ordinary paracetamol can cause harm to a child's health when wrongly administered. You can only use medicine based on your doctor prescription.
Self care is more important than medicine. Following the theee ways discussed in this article you can adequately protect and secure your health. Remember, your health is your wealth.
What you pointed out are true but the later you have mentioned is the one I have tried the other two were not used to here in our country. Check up is done whenever we have sickness because it is costly and far. Health insurance here in our country is free but not all could benifit with it. I mean the fund are merely ghost and imagination lol. If it is just accessible to anyone maybe health importance will not be neglected. Poor like us just take care of our health true the healthy food we ate and to the positive energy we surround in our life.
